I've been working on this video for several months with David, and I'm delighted to finally release it! I hope it proves helpful to you all when prepping for OSCEs! I need never watch this video again as it is burned into my optic discs. Enjoy! - Lewis Potter | Founder

Great video, thanks so much for these brilliant resources. We've been introduced to them on our MSc module in Physical Examination and Clinical Reasoning in Cancer Care and I'm finding them really useful and will be directing all my future physio students towards them :)

[meditation]

i thought lens accomodation was to do with the oculomotor nerve, not the optic nerve. same with miosis.

[chigozie]

What an explanation and illustration. Thank you. This will really be helpful for my OSCE

Why is it our med school professor demo to have the patient automatically read the last line 20/20 near card. So should let the patient pick the most comfortable line?

[kcmaurya]
